Speaker Mike Johnson said he thinks the Trump administration’s war on Iran will “come to a close soon” following the president’s speech this week at the House Republican Conference’s policy retreat in Doral, Florida.

“The mission is virtually accomplished now as it was defined,” Johnson told NOTUS’ Reese Gorman on the latest episode of the On NOTUS podcast. “And I think that’ll happen. That’s his intention, and he’s saying the same thing to us privately as he says publicly.”

In his speech addressing the House Republicans at the retreat, President Donald Trump said gas prices might continue to rise for a short period due to the conflict.
